Sofia Vergara jokes about her large assets making her look like a 'hooker' at SAG Awards

Modern Family star Sofia Vergara stunned in a Donna Karan gown at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night.

The actress, 40, and her ABC co-stars took home the award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. But Vergara let the crowd in on something her father had told her when she was first starting out in the business.

“My father told me if I did anything artistic, I would look like a hooker," she said in an introduction in the beginning of the show, Fox News reports. "I told him, 'with these huge boobs that I inherited from your mother, I already look like a hooker!'"

After winning the award, she said backstage "I grew up in a Catholic, very traditional home," adding, "But I did whatever I wanted to do!"

AceShowbiz reports that although she was nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series, she lost to Tina Fey of 30 Rock.
